They look so different in flight. The nice wispy red hairdo is flattened to have less drag.

Very streamlined for flight! Beautiful shot and I love the detail of the underwing feather layers, Karl.

Marvellous harmony of colour Karl. Cracking shot and a pleasure when viewed large.

A lovely shot and a nice change from a "sitting duck" ;). Beautiful detail, and a certain intensity in her demeanor.
